In my opinion, shows from the 80's to 2000's are not Nick at Nite material. Nick at Nite should have stayed with the classics as it was in the beginning.

I think N@N should focus more on the 80's sitcoms and stay away from the 70's sitcoms.

TV Land already airs the old classics. I like that N@N is airing some of the more modern ones. I just wish they'd show more of a variety. I also wish they'd separate from Nickelodeon and become a full 24-hour network.

Before the modern classics came to Nick at Nite, the original classics were airing both on Nick at Nite and TV Land. They made more room for them to get played. Now, TV Land is the only true network that airs Classic TV and nearly 1/3 of programming for the original classics no longer exists. In addition, we get 1/3 less of original classics unlike before.

TBS should air all 70's sitcoms. TV LAND still cuts out too many funny parts

I agree, Nickelodeon should become a 24-hour network, and show some of their own classics and Nick-at-Nite should branch off and have a new channel called something like the "Modern TV Classics Channel" and create an 80s and early 90s network with a larger variety.

I understand the Nick@Nite is trying to focus on newer stuff, but I just don't see Fresh Prince of Bel Air on N@N ... that is just weird!

Yeah I think Fresh Prince is a better fit on TBS

Most Definately!

I guess when it comes to Nick@Nite it will leave TBS, but that is just a guess

All those shows mentioned, with the exception of Good Times has aired on Nick at Nite. They are all Nick at Nite material. All of them. I am still trying to get used to this new block.

I don't know what guidelines you would use for "Nick at Nite Material."

But there is one thing I know for sure - shows like Full House and Who's the Boss can never be considered "classics" even if they are 500 years old.

I never heard anyone in my life say (actually in my presence, not online) that either of those is a great show. Or even a good one.

Just because those shows aired on N@N doesn't mean that they are N@N material. There are episodes of The Jeffersons, and Three's company that N@N will not air. IF Good Times was on N@N, they will skip almost every episode. Because of the topics that show dealt with.

Not true. Roseanne is coming! Controversy is it's middle name.

Good Times was TOO REAL for N@N. It wouldn't work.

I agree with 2 exceptions. Sanford & Son & Happy Days are OK for Nick. The others are "fair spinoffs" or "Topical Humor" sitcoms. Sanford & Son is timeless ,,,,,,,,,,,,,and Happy Days is "ABOUT" the "GOLDEN AGE" of TV.

No N@N would chop up the Sanford and Son episodes Too much. I wouldn't want to see Sanford and Son on N@N. TV LAnd chops it up enough

Maude is inculded on that list, and I believe Nick-at-Nite hasen't aired Maude before either, it has been on TV Land, but I don't remember it being on Nick-at-Nite.

Married With Children-i could never picture this on N@N lineup

Saved by the bell-i doubt it, but i could see it.

Seinfield-This may be called one of the greatest shows in history, but i hate it and I hope this is forgotten about before it hits N@N

Simpsons-not every N@Nish

Will & Grace-in 25 years if N@N is still around... could u picture turning on N@N and watching this?That is not classic tv, sorry.. as much as I do like the show (its alright) it should never, i mean NEVER be on a tv station that once was great and played I dream of Jeannie & I Love Lucy

Maude has aired on Nick at Nite but not on a regular basis. Back in February of 2001, Nick at Nite aired a couple episodes in celebration of Black History Month.

I think it's pretty safe to assume that for the most part sitcoms from the 70's will no longer be coming to Nick at Nite anymore, so this really shouldn't be an issue. As of now, TV Land seems to be the only candidate between the two. Thus, Good Times would be more likely to air it on TV Land. However, I do believe Nick would have picked it up if they hadn't reformed the network a couple years ago.

One Day at a Time on the other hand has potential of being a Nick at Nite show, although it's slim.

Both Sanford and Son and Maude have aired on NAN on the regular basis for NAN's hothead month. Sanford and Son aired at 10:30pm and Maude aired at 11:30pm weeknights. I taped some episodes. All in the Family was also introduced as part of the package. This was in October of 1999.

No. I just got back online today. I will check right now.

Roseanne is definitely NOT Nick at Nite material at all,even though they are showing it in the fall. There are too many controversial episodes(examples: the gay kiss between Roseanne and Mariel Hemingway, the gay wedding with Martin Mull and Fred Willard,Roseanne's mom coming out of the closet, the Halloween shows,etc.) Why they are showing Roseanne at all, I will never know!!! That show belongs on the other channel that they going to show it: Oxygen. I would rather see more family based shows than watch stuff like that where children are watching it and everything. I think that this will be the first TV-14 show that Nick at Nite has ever shown.:mad:

I second that!!!

Roseanne in the fall. Unbelievable. I cannot even stress how despicable Nick @ Nite has become. If they want to do modern TV Classics, why don't they air shows that haven't been on TV in a while? Roseanne has been played TO DEATH on TBS for as long as I can remember. Why would N@N do this? And many episodes aren't even going to air. N@N must just want to drive the viewers away.

Oh, and shows that aren't N@N material, I can't even name any. The network is a joke. I have an idea. Nick @ Nite should just quit. Yeah, most drastic idea yet. Nick @ Nite needs to be canned. They've had their chance to glide into the new theme, and they have failed. They have aired and are going to continue to air shows that have been in reruns for years, and then they play them 4 times a night. N@N can go to H---.

current shows will have their time or not.The point of n&n and A&E is to put on those classic shows everyone misses.what classifies a classic.Classic lines,Characters episodes over a period of time that is timeless.Shows where the subjects never lose their significance and social relevance.

,,,,,,,,,to me "CLASSIC",,,,,,,,,,does not simply mean "OLD"! More importantly (in my opinion),,,,,,,,,,,,,,is the "Content of IT'S Character". To me shows like ROSEANNE, were a complete "WASTE" of celluloid. For my money a "MODERN" day classic is ; Home Improvement & Boy meets world. They broached "sensitive" subjects with "CLASS" & a sense of "responsibility" to the audience that might be watching. Like Andy Griffith did years ago.

No, the point of N@N is not to put on shows that everyone misses. How do people miss shows that have been on TBS for years (Roseanne being the prime example)? Roseanne will be picked up by N@N just as soon as it leaves TBS. That is utter BS. I agree with what you're saying about classics though. I'm not necessarily jumping for joy that N@N has changed their tune, but the least they could do is resurrect some of the shows that we haven't seen in a long time.
